I remember watching that movie in theaters with a few of my friends when I was 17. It scared the bejesus out of all three of us. I didn't sleep easily that night. Thanks for the interview! :)
My favorite game of all time. I'm so glad to see it get some love here. Just hearing the music floods back memories from 12 year old Chris. It hit at a time in a kid's life when he starts wondering what's outside the front door and pushing his boundaries. Like the game though, you can't go too far at that age without the help of your family and friends. Now that I'm knocking on 30 and have a family of my own and live on the opposite side of the state from the one that raised me, I still think about curing 'homesickness' like in Earthbound, but this age it's with my mom over Skype while we play Animal Crossing. Such a deep influence on my perception of what it means to make it through life, and to remember those important to you at the end of the day.
That's cool! I wish I could play Animal Crossing with my mom over Skype.
Congratulations on your win, Patrick! Thanks for writing this article. I enjoyed reflecting on my time with Earthbound... and FF7 too. My battle with Sephiroth ended with me having Cait Sith in one of my parties and rolling a triple fail with his limit break.
If they bring back the clamshell lid for the 2DS i'd bite. My DSLite is getting way long in the tooth. Or if they re-released the DSLite, I'd buy a new one of those.
Earthbound has one of the most unique and satisfying endings of any RPG I've ever played. The last battle with Giygas is really great too. Thanks, Scoops. Fuzzy Pickles!
This is the most awful news I've heard in like.. ages. I can't believe this is true! My thoughts and condolences go out to his family and the GB crew! this is just horrible! :(
